Scrutinising the current utilisation, barriers to implementation and the effect that software-based systems have on the hospital’s strategy are at the study’s core. Here, a
Urban agriculture can be one of the many solutions that a city employs as a part of its larger sustainability strategy. It can have many advantages: food security, employment, better utilisation of public spaces, safer and better food production and economic empowerment of disadvantaged groups. But in the context of nature-based solutions (NBS), urban agriculture needs more evidence to support it
I denna uppsats undersökte jag i vilken utsträckning skatteflykt har kunnat användas som en rättfärdigandegrund av en medlemsstat för att med framgång inskränka den fria etableringsrätten inom Europeiska unionen. I uppsatsen behandlades totalt nio rättsfall som bidrog till att besvara min frågeställning och förtydliga rättsläget. De fyra första (Marks & Spencer, Cadbury Schweppes, Thin Cap GIn this essay I was analysing to what extent tax avoidance can be used by a member state as a ground of justification to restrict the freedom of establishment in the European Union.

Biomass-fired combined heat and power (CHP) plants in Sweden are usually equipped with a flue gas condenser, where the flue gas is sprayed with water which absorbs contaminants and makes the flue gas meet emission restrictions. This results in a contaminated condensate that has to be treated to be discharged or re-used in the plant. This can be done in various ways, but at the moment the interest
The collective fight for self-determination among indigenous peoples around the world has made headlines over the past few years. The exploitation of indigenous territories by settler-states has revived nationalist feelings among the groups, including the Sami, whose territories spread across four states. This thesis aimed to explore how Sami national identity is constructed, shaped and promoted
Kunskapssamhällets framväxt har gjort att anställdas kunskap och kompetens fått ökad betydelse för företag och samhället i stort. Företag som önskar skydda kunskap efter en anställnings upphörande väljer därför ibland att använda sig av konkurrensklausuler i anställningsavtal. 2015 slöts ett nytt kollektivavtal rörande användning av konkurrensklausuler i anställningsavtal mellan Svenskt NäringslivSince the uprising of the knowledge-based society, knowledge and competence of employees have become increasingly valuable for business and to the society in general. Hence, companies seeking to protect knowledge after the period of employment sometimes choose to incorporate non-compete clauses in the employment contract. In 2015 a new collective agreement regarding the usage of non-compete clause

This thesis aimed to search for epidemiological evidence supporting the associations of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with cancer and autoimmune diseases (ADs) by analysing several Swedish national registries. T2DM shares risk factors with cancer, such as obesity, diet, stress, and physical inactivity. However, it is unclear whether the associations with several types of cancers are due to share
BACKGROUND: Due to increasing resistance development among bacteria, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), are receiving increased attention. Ideally, AMP should display high bactericidal potency, but low toxicity against (human) eukaryotic cells. Additionally, short and proteolytically stable AMPs are desired to maximize bioavailability and therapeutic versatility. METHODOLOGY AND PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: A
Background: Mass screening could identify those with unrecognized celiac disease (CD), but the experience of being detected through screening and living with screening-detected CD should be explored before considering this as acceptable intervention. For this study we invited screening-detected adolescents to describe their experience living with screening-detected CD five years after diagnosis wi
Background: Mobility is important for the cognitive and psychosocial development of children. Almost one third of children with cerebral palsy (CP) are non-ambulant. Wheelchairs can provide independent mobility, allowing them to explore their environment. Independent mobility is vital for activity and participation and reduces the dependence on caregivers. The purpose of this study was to describe
Background: It has been estimated that approximately 20% of all Swedish children grow up with parents having alcohol problems, which may result in negative outcomes among these children. Therefore, most Swedish municipalities provide resources for support, but at the same time figures reveal that not even 2% receive support, mainly due to difficulties in identifying and recruiting these children i
Background: The development of spasticity with age in children with cerebral palsy (CP) has, to our knowledge, not been studied before. In 1994, a register and a health care program for children with CP in southern Sweden were initiated. In the programme the child's muscle tone according to the modified Ashworth scale is measured twice a year until six years of age, then once a year. We have used
Popular Abstract in Swedish En värld av mikrober Vi lever i en värld full av olika bakterier och svampar, så kallade mikrober. Med tanke på artrikedomen och mängden av infektiösa mikrober vi dagligen kommer i kontakt med kan det nästan tyckas som ett smärre mirakel att vi trots allt är så friska som vi är. Detta är dock nästan helt och hållet vårt medfödda immunförsvars förtjänst. Immunförsvaret

På senare år har den regionala utvecklingen i Skåne präglats av infrastruktursatsningar. I synnerhet kan infrastruktursatsningarna ses på kollektivtrafiken, vilken är tänkt att bidra till den hållbara utvecklingen i regionen. Utöver detta satsar den svenska staten även på att skapa möjligheter för att etablera höghastighetståg mellan Stockholm och Göteborg respektive Malmö.

As a result, organisations have started to consider implementing EA projects to better manage their IT spending. When implementing EA projects, Enterprise Architects may choose to use EA frameworks as a guide to
En rad uppmärksammade skjutningar i bland annat Malmö ledde under våren 2012 till en ökad opinion för att den befintliga vapenlagstiftningen behövde skärpas, speciellt vad gäller innehav av vapen där innehavaren har en anknytning till organiserad brottslighet. Att äga eller inneha ett skjutvapen beskrivs som en del av en kriminell livsstil och efterfrågan på skjutvapen kan till stor del tillskrivaDuring 2011-2012 a row of violent shootings took place in Sweden which lead the government to present a bill proposing to change the legislation concerning firearms.

The world is facing complex sustainability challenges, and the quest for a more sustainable world is characterized by uncertainty, both regarding goals and means. It is argued that this uncertainty requires a social learning process, where people collectively find shared problem perception and directions for sustainable solutions. The Swedish 4H farms have a great potential of being a platform for
